TV game show host Bob Eubanks and his wife, Deborah James, have sold their Westlake Village house for $1.982 million.

The Normandy-style home, built in 2006, sits on 3.5 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac. The single-level house features wood and stone floors, custom built-in cabinetry, French doors, an office, four bedrooms and 41/2 bathrooms in 4,972 square feet of living space.

The grounds include a swimming pool with spa, a two-story play fort, an outdoor covered loggia, stone walkways and fountains.

Before Eubanks, 74, got his start as a disc jockey and a concert producer before gaining wide recognition in the mid-60s as the host of "The Newlywed Game." He received an Emmy for lifetime achievement in 2005.

Public records show the property was purchased in 2006 for $2.66 million. The house was listed for sale two years ago at $2.595 million. It was being marketed as a short sale.

Keli Dahl and Leisa Schwartz of Aviara Real Estate were the listing agents.
